Staying Home - part 2

Just when I think I have everything figured out, something comes along and throws my head into a spin. I had decided I was going to quit and be a stay at home mom (in fact, I wrote a whole post about this just last week). I wanted to do this for several reasons. The first being, I did not want Gerbie to go into daycare in a strange country. Secondly, I knew how much of an adjustment this move would be for all of us, and how long it would take to make our new home a “home”. And finally, I decided I wanted to take this opportunity to try out being a stay at home mom. And then, today, my boss tells me she thinks it will work out for me to keep my job and work from England, in fact, they are excited about the opportunity. Apparently, they need an HR presence in England, they can use me for comp, benefits and project work and possibly even interviewing candidates for our European companies (we have offices in the UK, France and Germany). Yep –head spinning. Do I want to keep working? I thought no, now I am not sure. I think after talking to hubby about it, we are game for trying it, but would really like it to be part time, not full time. I have some time (about a month) to figure out what this looks like. I still don’t want Gerbie in daycare, so I will try to do it with her home, understanding she comes first no matter what. I still have a lot to consider for this, but it might turn out to be a really good experience. Honestly, if I am going to have a job, I would rather it be the one I already know and with a company I have worked with for 7 years. Sigh…more decisions.
